Phil O'Shaughnessy

I'm the Vice President, Global Communications, Government Relations and Sustainability for International Game Technology (IGT), a global leader in the casino gaming industry. But let's break this down to what it's really all about: driving buzz and sales for some seriously fun, innovative games, systems, and solutions. In my customer and media interactions, at casinos, events and trade shows around the world, I love to see people's faces light up when they experience the excitement that only IGT can deliver. That's what drives me. My career has always centered around the "wow" factor, through publicity, event and concert promotion, professional sports broadcast sales, computer and casino games, PC hardware, consumer electronics - you get the idea - to where I am today. My genuine inspiration keeps it legit, and I'm hugely thankful to the brilliant people I work and play with who keep the learning curve perpetually steep, especially my greatest teacher of all: my daughter.
